Yay, it's Friday! Do you have any special plans for the weekend? After a rainy night, it is supposed to be beautiful today and for the rest of the weekend. I'd like to go to the lake at some point. I need to spend some time in the sunshine!
This week's devotion is entitled "seed grace." I absolutely loved it: the vignette of a family lovingly planting a garden; the lesson of how all feasts begin with something small; and the reminder of how God provides for us. While reading it I also was reminded of the parable of the mustard seed. What about you? Thoughts?
Here is the scripture from the lesson:
And God said, "Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the face of all the earth, and every tree with seed in its fruit. You shall have them for food."~Genesis 1:29

Until next time...

I loved this week's devotion to. Tahe analogy of planting seeds can be related to so many facets of life, not just literally, but certainly that too.
ReplyDeleteAll of my family are on thr mend now - praise! Thank you all for your support this past week.
Ricki Jill, that flower arrangement is stunning!!
We are expecting a sharp turn from mild today to snowy weather again tomorrow, then warming again on Sunday.
I too enjoyed this week’s Seed Grace. May sunshine appear for your weekend, Ricki Jill. Prayers continue for all, and happy weekend.
ReplyDeleteThere is so much crazy sickness going around. It is all this mild temperatures we are all seeing. Nothing is freezing and killing off the bugs. Prayers please for my SIL he was in a terrible car crash a week ago. He was going to his firefighter job and another car crashed into him and threw his truck around the highway. Lucky for him he was in a truck and his airbags saved his life. He had whiplash and bruises and some back pain but is doing well. His truck was totaled and they are now looking to get a new one. Trucks and cars are so expensive plus the guy that caused the three car pile up was driving uninsured and on a suspended license. My SIL and daughter's insurance is going to have to take care of the bills etc. No fault of my SIL but they will pay the price for the guy that caused all of this. Also prayers as Terry and I begin a new journey with a rescue basset hound we will drive to Tennessee to pick up next week. Long story on this rescue but God put her in our paths and even though we thought after 45 years of having dogs we were done. Nope this one needs us to give it a good home. Hoping and prayers please she will adjust to condo living when we bring her here. Thanks for all the prayers always. Hugs. Kris
